CGEN: RFA: Fast vs Full with scache-pbb


Hi,

The simulator port I'm working on was crashing when the sim was
run without -t. It is configured with-scache-pbb. 

It turns out that the call to <cpu>_pbb_begin in the generated
<cpu>_sem_x_begin was passing STATE_RUN_FAST_P (CPU_STATE
(current_cpu)) as the 'fast_p' argument. Now this flag will be 0
if -t is specified and 1 otherwise. However the rest of the
generated code (mloop.c, sem.c) is not set up for dynamic
fast/full switching (although it looks like some work was done
toward this goal in the past). As a result, only the 'sem_full'
function in the idesc_table is initialized for my build. Passing
fast_p==1 causes the semantic engine to attempt to use 'sem_fast'
function which is not initialized.

The attached patch changes <cpu>_sem_x_begin to honour any FAST_P
macro which may be defined and to otherwise assume that
FAST_P==0. I #if'd out the orignal code since it will apply
someday when dynamic fast/full switching is enabled in the rest
of the cgen-generated code.

OK to commit? Once again I tested on fr30, m32r and 2 internal
ports which cover a range of sem-switch/non sem-switch/scache/pbb
configurations.
